[2017, OLD] Maya Character Design Basics - Friday 29th September

Friday afternoon was spent continuing work on our monstrous 80s designs (mine being the archetypal 'Princess') except this time we used it as a way to explore Adobe Illustrator, and more specifically the Pen Tool. While I've never really used the program before I'll certainly be using it in the future, I found the pen tool is a much easier and nicer looking way of 'tracing' a scanned in image, which I do quite a lot, over something like simply following the lines with a Photoshop brush.

Anyway here is the scanned in character from last week re-done with the Illustrator Pen tool. And also a coloured version because I got bored and started exploring the other tools.
